Ben Affleck has pulled out of director Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic The Great Gatsby. Just hours after news broke about Isla Fisher joining the cast – as the mistress of Affleck’s character Tom Buchanan – The Town star has reportedly quit the project to concentrate on his next directorial role on Iranian hostage crisis drama Argo.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Carey Mulligan are still a part of the all-star cast.
